given no expression as to his
intention, and it is not like

It was, ssald this afternoonis that Spies
brother would lay letter before the Gov

Grinnell's demand.
MISS NINA REFUsED ENTRANCE.
CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 8 The anarchists
were not permitted out Of their cells to-
| day. Visitors were restricted and in 8
remote part Of the jail feW deputies
were busy pelfecting the fnsl prellmins-
ries needful for the erection CT the gal
lows. AS yet the instrument Of death has
not been removed from the storero ON, but
everything is in readiness to go forward
with the exec utions, that is everything but
,he Joining together of the gsllcws, but
that can be done in
VERY SHORT WHILE.
For the first time since the Supreme
court passed on the case Nina VapZandt
was to-day denied admission. She toiled
up the iron stairs in the rain, opened the
door ard took refuge in the closed entry.
A moment later her white face was ap.
pealing and in humble tenes she was ask
ing to be let in. The doorkeeper shook
his head. Folse was absent. She sent
for him. he came out and in kind
" but very positive tone told her he was
obliged to refuse her entrance. She re-
NAMED where she was, holding On to the
iron bsrs, as il not comprehendiDg what
was said. The jailer said: "Spies Is
locked up snd can't be let out, and you
could not see him If you did come in"
Slowly the young girl turned away.
She CROPPED her way down the stairs ano
with painful steps went out through the
/ sill yard and turned down the alley. But
, The Jail door was opened while she was
on the threshold; it was opened for the
aged Mrs. Epgel, who was accorded
brief talk with her husband. None other
of the wives or others called this morn
: ! ing. They remained unvisiEed with the
single exception CT Fielden, who had q
caller in the person of Rev. DR.. Bolten.
Spies, Parson and Lingg remained
OUT OF SIGHT
: in their cells. There WAS no movement
to be noticed All interest just now be-
longing to the fate OF the doomed en-
archists has been transferred TO Spring
0 field. Most of their friends, and thefl
L counsel as well, are out OF town.
: "Whst will the Governor dor" wa;
e asked often about the jail this morning
q Il w&s the general belief that nothip
y would be heard from Springfield before
y tomorrow.
Q The anarchists made no inquiry or tall
q with each other during the morning
q Whatever their hopes, their fears, thei
p ,:cbnz them
themselves All over town quiet bu
eff Give workers were attending TO ar
rangemen's that msy have something II

before noon Spies called Mr.. Osborne, th
II death watch, to his cell. He wanted II
&c talk to relieve the horrible tedium. H
u talked earnestly and st considerabl
l. length. Osborne said Spies, and the 9th
q ers, too, for that matter, had strong
J. hopes the Governor would intercede an
IS prevent the execution. Spies, Mr.. Os
